2012 Buick Grand Sport "Turns out the Regal GS Concept is down with OPC. Yeah, that's right, Opel Insignia OPC. It borrows heavily from this European car. To start, the Regal GS is all-wheel-drive with an electronic limited-slip rear differential (i.e., the Haldex system used on AWD Saab 9-3s)."
"Oddly, the one thing that's not finalized on the production-ready Regal GS Concept is the engine. The show car has a higher-output version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder already slated for the 2011 Regal CXL. In the GS, the engine is said to produce 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. It's hooked up to a six-speed manual."
"But Buick might not use this engine in the production car. Rumors abound that Buick might replace the turbo four with a V6 -- either the 280-hp, direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 from the LaCrosse or the 321-hp, turbocharged, 2.8-liter V6 used in the Insignia OPC. -- Reporting by Dan Pund"

From another website: "Under the hood there is a turbocharged 2.8L V6 that puts out 325 horsepower and 295 lb-ft. of torque. That's 25 more horsepower than in the Saab 9-3 Turbo-X, which uses the same engine. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual that puts the power to the ground via all four wheels. According to the automaker the car reaches 0-62 mph in 6 seconds."
